IBI Group reviews

Not sure if this applies to all verticals in the company but my vertical had some of the most underdeveloped managers I've ever worked with. It felt like I was being managed by very talented students that blew up on people as soon as things didn't go their way. It's no wonder churn rates are through the roof. You are not set up to succeed in this company - there is no mentorship. It's more like you come in as if you were starting your own consulting company. All my coworkers seemed oppressed but the interesting thing was that they saw it as normal. They were always worried about disappointing management more than they wanted to do good work. There's unfortunately no better way to say it - it felt a bit like a cult and if you lasted long enough to get to the top, you could reap the rewards of having a following yourself. Yikes.

There is no real or proper management here. They claim to recognize the long hours the team is pulling and say they’ll make it better, but they do not come up with viable solutions. Over the past few years, everyone has quit or was fired and the last man standing is the management themselves. Micromanagement is making the working environment worse. Many team members have raised concerns to HR and almost every member who quit reported the poor management to HR during their exit interviews. However, after 5+ years of revolving door, NOTHING’s changed. Management is not available for the team when needed during working hours, but will call, email, message you after working hours for “emergency” situations and demands the team to respond within a minute. Management “recognizes” your long hours and tells you not to over work, but will keep assigning you work nonetheless and have you on a standby 24/7. All they truly care about is the number of proposal that gets pushed out every month. They celebrate over X number of proposals that were submitted, and don’t seem to care that there was a price that had to be paid by the team members who had to work 50+ hours almost every week. I could go on forever to explain the lack of proper management for this team and it’s honestly no surprise to anyone on this team or HR. What’s worst is that nothing’s going to change. Leadership and HR are good at one thing here—silencing those who speak up.
